Place: Richardson Comments: Susan- No time to crab camera,had to move quickly. I think Don & I are going to take a walk to the park tda or tmo to see if we can find them & see if OK. Got bk abt 7:30pm yesterday frm Lubbock. We drove up Fri & had dinner that nite w/my bro, sis n law, their son, Laura (the graduate) & Laura's current boyfriend. As you can image, Lubbock was hopping all wkend!! Sat @ 9:00am was Graduation Day for Laura & it was so nice. Tx Tech does it very well, lots of Pomp & Circumstance! Very emotional for all of us & the other 4 - 5 thousand people in the area. Had lunch w/family afterward & hit the road at 1:40 to head bk to Richardson. Man what a long boring drive!!! But all of you w/kids or G-kids from Tech know exactly what I'm talking about! 6 hrs of nothing but wind turbines & oil rigs bobbing up & down. But it was a great wkend with family and we're all very proud of Laura. Now I got to head to the store & get some groceries for this week. Later folks . . . .

Place: FW Comments: Awwww! Sandy, you're such a good surragate Mom! I wish you had taken pictures. I bet they looked so sweet!
Place: Richardson Comments: Wow Jim - A 4.3 earthquake is pretty strong, can't believe you slept thru it!  I haven't had a TV on tda, so missed hearing anything abt the quake. But I did make a trip to the bank & heard on the radio that Donna summers has died at age 63! Nothing else yet as it was just coming across the wire.Had interesting experience yesterday. Was in the hse & kept hearing a very loud quacking noise. When I stepped outside I saw a lady pulling up the very heavy grates over the storm drain & I saw a momma duck & 4 ducklings running around. I went out to see if I cd help her. 4 of 8 babies fell into the drain!! I held the grates & she climbed in & pulled all 4 out. Ea ran to its momma. She told me she has been protecting them for 2 wks in her backyd waiting for the eggs to hatch. She was walking them all the way from her hse (abt 3 blks away) & down the ally & then to cross the main rd (Brand) & over into Breckinridge Park!! I offered to help & we gently guided them the remaining 3 blks, held up traffic so they cd cross the rd & then into the creek water in the park. A first time for everything!! But all 8 ducklings & momma arrived safe & seemed happy to be in the water swimming.  Our niece, Laura, will be graduating from Tx Tech Sat mrng. We will be there to cheer for her. My bro is very happy... one down and only 1 more year to go for the other one!! Ya'll have a good weekend, enjoy the beautiful weather!! 
Place: Carthage, TX Comments: Guess I slept through the 4.3 magnitude earthquake this AM. It woke up Geneva and they were several reports throughout the county of shaking. The epicenter was about 12 - 14 miles from us in Shelby County ( Timpson ).

Place: Benbrook Comments: Today is my Jackies 12 birthday.Today is all about her   .Can't believe she is that old and I'm pushing 65. She is 5ft 4 inches tall and weighs 120.One of her school projects was in the school atrium it was so good! So PROUD of her!!
Place: Babysitting land Comments: Jack, a good website for Glynda would be Robert Half Finance and Accounting. They match Accounting skills and experience with potential employers. Won't hurt to email or fax her resume to get the wheels turning. Sarah hid my stash some time ago, so Cody whistles on his on without picture prompts,
Place: 66erville Comments: I usually watch either channel 5 or 8 10:00 PM news and the one night I watch 11 the other two do the BMF Project show. Watched the clips on line. Good the project is getting some publicity for a great cause. Mr. Fugate, my first thought to your question was YES if she can get a room at a reasonable rate. But after it sinking in, I think it would require a meeting of you, Barb, Glynda and I to work out the details. Glynda is "employed" through the end of the month. Sam, did Cody Jack start whistling when he found your stash of picture books??
Place: Coppell Comments: Our daughter Marsha heard a whistling sound in their home the other day. She could not figure out where it was coming from since it would start and stop. She asked Jeff if he heard it and come to find out it was Cody Jack crawling and whistling at the same time. Hilarious. Never heard of a one year old doing that. Sarah and I went for a visit and sure 'huff he was doing it.
Place: Coppell Comments: Well, no bites yet from the resumes Sarah has mailed, faxed and emailed. Sandy is right. File immediately to get the process started. Her first check took two and a half weeks to post to our checking account. Good thing is you can file on line now. |
